I’m excited to play at the beautiful and fun @cocowineco in Brentwood, CA this Friday night! You’ll catch me doin’ my music thang from 7pm to 10:45pm, so come on by for some delicious Cali wine & upbeat tunes🍷🎶 Photo by: @akun.photos 📸

I’m excited for my first ever event as a magician! I’ll also be playing a full set of live music of course, as a duo with the amazing violinist/violist @mayayyy_ 🎻😃 Join us for the holiday benefit concert “Songs For Shelter” in San Luis Obispo! All proceeds go towards buying land for Happy Hut Sanctuary, my girlfriend Nixie’s all-volunteer-run nonprofit orphanage school. Let’s help the children and have some fun in the process!! Enjoy music by the amazing @hollyannlewismusic & our full band headliners @spacecatsbeermusic fronted by the award-winning songwriter @paddymarshmusic 🎶🎸 Plus kids games and crafts, family portraits, pizza & salad by donation, and free mac’n’cheese for kids! Huge thanks to our food sponsor @urbanecafe & our venue sponsor Trinity Hall!!! 💯💙😇

We got to meet the famous Miyoko when we played a duo set at her book signing on Sunday! Her speech was INCREDIBLE and so inspiring 👏 Thanks to the animal sanctuary Freedom Farms for hosting and having us back! And thanks to all the big hearted animal activists out there fighting for a more compassionate world 💙

Thank you for 3K followers!!! Thanks for being on this journey with me as I navigate the crazy music industry with nothing but my love of songwriting and my incredible community at my back. As passionate as I am for making music, there’s something vulnerable about putting it out there (both live and recording) and it can be disheartening if no one seems to care. I feel honored every day to see people are listening to what I’m making and going outta their way to find and follow me after seeing me play at their fave restaurant, winery, or farmers market. And as silly as all this social media is, we artists do get asked to provide our handles when we apply to perform at festivals and events or send our songs to radio stations and such. The support really does help our career and I’m grateful to all 3K of you lifting me up! You’re saying, “Hey world, give this guy a chance!” From the bottom of my heart, thanks for giving me a chance 💙😃🎶🥰🎤😝🎸😍🎵😌

Got to meet Lt. Jim Dangle aka @thomaspatricklennon and see him perform at the Rock And Roll Carnival by @musackrocks over the weekend! He’s a super kind guy in person! It was so much fun!! #reno911 #LieutenantJimDangle #ltdangle #thomaslennon #rockandrollcarnival #musack

As I hit the cute li’l stage of a quaint restaurant on the Oregon coast, the manager graciously asks if I’d like a drink. Peeking at the menu, I order the most delicious sounding thing: blackberry lemonade please. His response floors me: “That’s the same thing Tom Waits ordered 2 days ago…” Apparently the American icon dined at the @yachatsdriftinn 3 days in a row just before I’d arrived. It’s gotta be the biggest thing that’s happened to that town in a decade! The packed place was still booked up with folks trying their luck for a Waits sighting. Thinking on my feet, “This next one’s by a man I hear stopped in here recently. This is Come On Up to The House by Tom Waits.” Crowd goes wild.

My heart’s feelin’ pretty dang full from visiting my old stomping grounds in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas!! Can’t pick a fave part between Grass Valley 4th of July fireworks, Nevada City moonlit river, or playing in Auburn and getting to see my music student Evan perform his 1st real show!! I’ll remember this trip forever✨ . . . #oldstompinggrounds❤️ #goodtimeswithgoodfriends❤️ #norcalmusic

After playing at the awesome street fest in Chico, where this awesome couple danced and sang a long to my Radiohead cover, I got to stay with old friends and hold 2 snakes!! It was honestly terrifying… but fun! UP NEXT: 7/9 Yachats, OR 7/11 Vancouver, Canada 7/13 Seattle, WA 7/19 Sandy, OR 7/24 Chico, CA 7/25 Sacramento, CA 7/26 San Francisco, CA 7/27 Los Altos, CA 8/1 Grover Beach, CA 8/2 Creston, CA 8/4 Cambria, CA And many more! 😝 #snakeofinstagram #snakesofig #snakelover #scaredofsnakes
